"america isnt a idea its a argument"..thats a great title for a book [winks]
yeah harvard coming out to defend universities is a cheery note...perhaps the only cheery note this week.
economically, taken to task by the chinese and lecturted on how american have given away their economy is sorta hitting home, it reminds me of england in the 80's when our industry was just being exploited ,not renewed couldnt compete with american goods, which is now facing the same problem against china [https://x.com/ProudSocialist/status/1911976477073051655]
i thank you for talking about gaza, its just not in the news in america[which is frustrating, although i did see it mentioned in "shield of the republic" a more conservative bulwark production which notes it is becoming a problem , even for those that back Israel, that the israeli government is following the american government into some dark places]
Bernie/AOC rallies , at first i was warmed by the success but already in the democratic party they are playing them, down, some prefer to wait, let trump destroy himself, some the centralists can wait for the win to come to them, sadly i think they fear change, losing that donor money over helping/using the bernie/AOC efforts in firing up the people, in america, even in republican areas..i fear this will goto waste, as the dems, will fall back to stale, centralists, do nothing talking points[avoiding annoying their donors] and wait for victory to be given to them, rather than going out and fighting for it..the lack of giving the people a vision, something to fight for...i dont think this will endear them to the people if this is there strategy.
As for the law , america is on the tipping point, its gratifying to see some protesting, i even saw some Christians protesting in some of these events, which is something i havent recognised in many white americans [as their views seemingly werent Christian in my eyes] ,it does the heart good, but these are dark days, were things are rapidly coming to a point of crisis...i rather think this trump presidency will not be decided in the elections in 2026..i wouldnt advise thinking like that...this trump presidency , is gonna be decided by the people before that...on the scale of events and how fast they are progressing, something is gonna kick off before that for good or ill,so stay safe all :(
You have become my “center”, Brother Eddie. I look forward to the calming and un-scattering by your weekly summaries to reclaim my focus and proceed forward. Please keep at it!
( Is your Mother’s crabmeat dressing recipe negotiable?). Blessings to you and may you also hold your family and loved ones close.
Oh, my, I want to come to your Mama's house to share in the feast! I know you will have a wonderful time. While you so rightly point out the poisons of white supremacy and greed, please do not forget that women were left out of the constitution, as well. Sexism and the subjugation of women work hand in hand with racism and greed to bring us down.
Trump is an antiSemite at heart, Jared notwithstanding. He supports Christian Nationalist apocalyptic belief that Israel and the Jews will convert, one of the "signs" of the Second Coming.
Thank you for lifting our hearts and souls every week🙏🏼
Dr Eddie,
Happy Easter. Thank you for always mentioning Gaza. Enjoy time with your family.
Peace

Thank you, Professor Glaude.

Your words are so beautiful. Thank you. ☮️💜
Dr. Glaude,
I’m protesting with my dollars—buying black.
Yes, Professor we must be active, we must mobilize, and we must be deliberate!
Trump is an antiSemite at heart, Jared notwithstanding. He supports Christian Nationalist apocalyptic belief that Israel and the Jews will convert, one of the "signs" of the Second Coming.
Absolutely, condemn the genocide in Gaza.
I’m trying to believe that we’ll get through this ……. Blessed Easter to you and your family!
Good to see you Dr. Glaude. Enjoy your time with your mother. Priceless. Love Ya'll.
Happy Easter Dr. Eddie. Each week I look forward to hearing your thoughts and wisdom. God bless you and your family.
